This tweet really encapsulates how fiscal leftism is just based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how wealth creation works
It shouldn’t have to be said, but a righteous person doesn’t want to create wealth at the expense of other people getting a chance to.

In capitalism, you only get money if you provide a product/service that someone else wants. In other words, you only get rich by making other people’s lives richer. Jeff Bezos earning money from Amazon doesn’t take away my slice of the pie; it actually makes the pie bigger!

Capitalism with a conscience does that, but for the last 40 years American capitalism has become completely unfettered to any ethical core. Trickle down economics supported by govt policy has allowed crony capitalism to radically exploit both people & planet thru deregulation etc
